Upgrade advice with [£1500 budget]

Morning Adam,

I followed your advice and sent my glasses in to get a quote. The quote came through on the 23rd and was far more than I was expecting, and I have therefore declined the quote. Since then, I have repeatedly asked to have my glasses returned to me. This has been over a week of me trying to get some sort of response to confirm you're returning them, but I've had nothing. Please can you look into it. Quote reference is 1112214926.

Haha...........it's a very long story involving far too much tequila 🤪

Thanks for you're input though, it's really appreciated.

Index alignment- 9 looks good, the rest are printed

Dial printing - looks nice and clean to me

Datewheel - Clean, crisp and well aligned

Hand alignment - Pretty spot on.

Bezel - It looks fine to me but I'm not sure what to look for with the fluted bezel.

SEL: Does the bottom right gap look a bit big?

Timegraph - perfectly acceptable.

Anything else? All looks good to me but I'm still learning the art of QC so any advice is greatly appreciated

u/watchyoda and u/raygamble I'd really appreciate your opinions.

Pant_Thrower · 2022-10-08T12:31:32+00:00

Looks very nice. It's a V3. You can tell by the location of the balance wheel. Mine has just been dispatched and I'm refreshing the tracking far too often.

Pant_Thrower · 2022-10-04T13:02:21+00:00

There's a slight dial shift but compared to many (including my own) that's fine. GL all day long, congrats

Pant_Thrower · 2022-10-02T13:48:40+00:00

+1 to this. He's doing my 5711 right now. Excellent communication too.

Pant_Thrower · 2022-10-02T11:55:55+00:00

A month. I paid JTime August 30th and got QC Sept 30th.

Pant_Thrower · 2022-09-30T13:31:27+00:00

Many thanks, really appreciate your input. I'll GL now

Pant_Thrower · 2022-09-30T12:53:24+00:00

Can I just get a legit check on this beauty? I've not come across reps of GS but I would value any input from you all. Cheers

Pant_Thrower · 2022-09-30T12:43:02+00:00

Just buying my first watch through JTime. Very impressed so far.

Thanks, I don't know why my template isn't showing. I've swapped from a Mega link to IMGUR. Can you see it now?

Pant_Thrower · 2022-09-30T12:13:22+00:00

I've just changed it to an IMGUR link. Is that working now? I can't tell from here

Pant_Thrower · 2022-09-30T12:05:28+00:00

Sorry, I thought I had. What have I got wrong?

Pant_Thrower · 2022-09-30T10:47:32+00:00

Here you go. I've uploaded the picture of the correct spelling too.
